The Rookie: Day in the Hole (2022)
Season 4, Episode 22
9/10
So happy to see an episode true to the show
20 May 2022
On the heels of 2 terrible episodes these past few weeks. And a couple other horrific episodes earlier into the season where it seemed like the show just phoned it in....they finally came back strong.

This episode came back to some of the roots of the show. In large part...it is finding a soft unobtrusive way to inject thoughts on broken parts of our legal/law system...then provides other possible solutions to these problems. It allows watchers to not be easily offended and have an open mind. And ponder the thoughts brought in by the show. And all if this is packaged in a show with a cast we can rally around. And plots that are easy to follow but still engaging.

And the show knows how to have fun. Bringing back Alan Tudyk was a blast. Especially as I love firefly.

I hope the 5th season can stay true to its roots and not get sidetracked by this fbi offshoot show (your hitch I will never watch as I though the actress /character was beyond annoying and poorly thought out (school social worker that can solve everything)

The core cast is still fantastic (even the new swapped out leads). I hope the show can stay on point. And please...NO celebrity guests. Shows always have this cringy kiss up to the celebrity feel and they distract from the show at every angle. Cameos from actors that don't need this "everything is about me' are fine. As they know that being an actor is more important than their celeb status.
